It happened at the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad. A flagship event of the Ministry of Education, IInvenTiv 2024 brought together a harmonious convergence of industry stakeholders and academia.

This patented technology, recognized in the United Kingdom, India, and China, effectively addresses two critical challenges: biodegradation and health hazards.

Agreement

The agreement, signed on 19 January 2024, involved Prof. B.S. Murty, Director, IIT Hyderabad, and Dr. Sandip Patil, Director, E-Spin Nanotech.

Milestone

This milestone aligns with the vision of the Minister of Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.

During his address at IIT Hyderabad, he said, “India, a cradle of innovation, stands poised at the forefront of a transformative era where groundbreaking ideas will be the hallmark of leadership.

The nation is resolutely charting its course into the realm of Industry 4.0, propelling progress through unparalleled research and innovation, he said speaking at IInvenTiv 2024.

Technology Transfer

Speaking about the technology transfer, Prof. Chandra Shekhar Sharma, Lead researcher of the technology and Dean, Sponsored Research & Consultancy, IIT Hyderabad, said, “I am glad to reach to this stage today through IInvenTiv 2024 platform.

It took us little more time just because nanofiber technology was too premature for industrial scale production when this invention took place, he said speaking at IInvenTiv 2024.

Besides Ministry of Education, I also acknowledge Ministry of Textiles for their support to build this partnership with E-Spin Nanotech Pvt Ltd to make this journey from Invention to Innovation successful.

The discussion concluded by identifying India’s vast potential for affordable healthcare products and the collective responsibility of both the industry and academia to collaborate in building and promoting products that would cater to all sections of society.

Agriculture & Food Processing – Engaging conversations revolved around the requirement for technology specifically tailored to rural conditions.

The impact of rising costs of cultivation, including procurement of seeds, machinery, and fertilizers, among others, on both small and marginal farmers were discussed along with the non-economical nature of this sector due to its labour intensive processes and comparatively lower returns.

This called for the Ministry’s attention on leveraging AI and IoT for advancements in agriculture and food processing.

Defense & Space – This discussion highlighted a range of perspectives and strategies to foster disruptive innovations in these critical sectors.

It was noted that there is a scope to increase India’s contribution towards the $400 billion space business.

Thus the need for strategic initiatives to enhance India’s market share in the global space industry with emphasis on material science and technology as a mantra for growth in manufacturing defence equipment.

Industry 4.0 – Several discussions were centered around the idea of maximizing indigenization, integrating data-driven and machine learning approaches, and the importance of adapting education curricula to support innovation.

There were suggestions to adhere to a practical and forward-thinking approach for adapting to the present requirements through the remodelling of knowledge and skills, understanding data and continuous learning in the context of evolving technologies.

Sustainable Technologies – This panel shed light on the crucial role of responsible consumption and production in achieving sustainability, with a specific focus on sustainable technologies.

There was reiteration on using resources efficiently to minimise waste and environmental impact.

Thus optimizing production processes, reducing material use, and enhancing overall resource efficiency.

The opportunity for India to become a global leader in recycling was identified, along with the need to build intellectual property around innovative recycling technologies.

Turning inventions from these institutes into value-added innovations requires an intimate collaboration between these stakeholders, thereby contributing to economic growth and job creation, he said speaking about significance of IInvenTiv 2024.

At Applied Materials, we work with several educational and research institutes, and I am delighted to be at IInvenTiv 2024 to explore collaborations in the areas of energy and environment, AI, IoT, Industry 4.0, green energy.

‘I congratulate the team at IIT Hyderabad for putting up such an insightful innovation fair that brings together academia and industry.’

Innovation to Impact

Speaking about linking Innovation to Impact, Prof. Bhallamudi Ravi, Director, NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, said in the journey from conceptualization and development to prototyping, every technology or innovation undergoes these crucial steps to reach its final product.

However, for these advancements to make a substantial impact at a larger scale, events like IInvenTiv 2024 play a pivotal role in bridging the gap and fostering meaningful connections between innovators and industries.

Disruptive Innovations

Speaking about fostering disruptive innovations, Prof. Govindan Rangarajan, Director, IISc Bangalore, said, “To promote disruptive innovations, it is crucial to create an environment that embraces change, encourages out-of-the-box thinking, and provides resources and platforms for individuals to explore unconventional ideas, ultimately driving transformative advancements in the industry.

IInvenTiv 2024 stands as a testament to this ethos, offering a dynamic platform catalyzing transformative changes across various sectors, he said.

Indigenization

Emphasasing on maximising indigenization, localisationm and self-reliance of Industry 4.0, Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, said we must start looking at smaller aspects, and individual components have to be made locally for us to be truly Atmanirbhar.

This approach ensures a holistic strategy, where the local production of each component contributes to the overall goal of building a self-sufficient ecosystem, he said.

Industries

Several industries actively participated in IInvenTiv 2024, contributing to the event’s success. Enthusiastic collaboration with these industries holds the potential for translating innovative ideas from participating institutes into reality.
